How we miss Jez's foreign affairs expertise at the time of the Ukraine crisis. He and Milne would probably have pissed the Labour lead away and made Johnson look prime ministerial.

He probably would have recommended that anyone who wants out of Ukraine sharpish should just go join a farming commune in Bolivia

Corbyn would have scored 4/10 on the Ukraine crisis. Bad enough to cover up the government’s reaction which feels like Jez’s 7/10 Remain campaign.

Sure, you're not going to be happy in his situation. But don't assume you've a monopoly on good things, please.

Losing ever more seats in elections gave hope to those too blinkered to realise that life under the Tories is going be shit.
Johnson faces a police investigation and all these fuckers tweet about is an NEC vote which they lost.
He has a chance to be re admitted but he can’t apologise, like he can’t apologise for giving this excuse for a PM an 80 seat majority

Ah, that whole awkward “Dreams vs Reality” moment, when you discover exactly how many people are in your cult and that the mouth/trousers ratio is a lot more lopsided than you thought - just another 250-odd signatures to make it to the point where it *might* be mentioned on local news!!!

Unfortunate error at the end there:
Starner's 'New Labour' will carry 'on in the direction which benefits the many, not the few', apparently.

An insult
The local constituents still have exactly the same MP they had before, with more freedom to vote how he likes. What exactly have they lost?

The absurd Laura Pidcock has resigned from the NEC and her fan club have got #Starmerout trending.

Her statement is amusing especially from someone who is an expert in losing elections.

If Pidcock wanted off the NEC, all she had to do was not put herself forward for re-election this year. Typically, she is instead seeking to grandstnd iit into some sort of killerattack on the hated Starmer and cast herself as some sort of Trot Joan of Arc.
But her timing is all to cock. The woman is nothing more than a posturing simpleton.

Does anybody know what the balance of power looks like on the Labour NEC currently? I'm assuming the pro-Starmer faction has a reasonable majority by now, but I'm unaware of the actual numbers.

Sensible rendency in the ascendancy. Pidcock’s replacement when she goes is also a Trot, so the balance of power will be unchanged.

Corbyn expresses ‘outrage’ over no Bloody Sunday convictions

Yes, it was injustice but perhaps someone a bit more even-handed should be saying it.

"To think they turned down this man"
I don't think we'd have done particularly well over the past couple of years with this man's brother as Chief Scientific Advisor. And what little credibility we had left under Johnson wouldn't have existed at all at COP 26.
In the case of the last two years Johnson really is the lesser of two evils - and I'm not saying that lightly.

Ah yes, that heady combination of blaming the electorate for simply not being good enough, coupled with not thinking yourself as to why they ‘turned him down’.

Has Jez kept his head down on Ukraine? I've not noticed the usual Stop the War stuff from him. Is that out of concern for the younger fans who haven't had the benefit of "analysis"?
